VRM and EBL
The variable range marker (VRM) and the electronic bearing line (EBL) measure the distance and
bearing from your boat to a target object. On the Radar screen, the VRM appears as a circle that is
centered on the present location of your boat, and the EBL appears as a line that begins at the present
location of your boat and intersects the VRM. The point of intersection is the target of the VRM and
the EBL.
